[PATCH v1 RESEND 3/6] sparc/mm: don't unconditionally set HW writable bit when setting PTE dirty on 64bit
From: David Hildenbrand
Date: Tue Apr 11 2023 - 10:26:36 EST
On sparc64, there is no HW modified bit, therefore, SW tracks via a SW
bit if the PTE is dirty via pte_mkdirty(). However, pte_mkdirty()
currently also unconditionally sets the HW writable bit, which is wrong.
pte_mkdirty() is not supposed to make a PTE actually writable, unless the
SW writable bit -- pte_write() -- indicates that the PTE is not
write-protected. Fortunately, sparc64 also defines a SW writable bit.
For example, this already turned into a problem in the context of
THP splitting as documented in commit 624a2c94f5b7 ("Partly revert "mm/thp:
carry over dirty bit when thp splits on pmd""), and for page migration,
as documented in commit 96a9c287e25d ("mm/migrate: fix wrongly apply write
bit after mkdirty on sparc64").
Also, we might want to use the dirty PTE bit in the context of KSM with
shared zeropage [1], whereby setting the page writable would be
problematic.
But more general, any code that might end up setting a PTE/PMD dirty
inside a VM without write permissions is possibly broken,
Before this commit (sun4u in QEMU):

Bail out! 3 out of 6 tests failed
# Totals: pass:3 fail:3 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0
Test #3,#4,#5 pass ever since we added some MM workarounds, the
underlying issue remains.
Let's fix the remaining issues and prepare for reverting the workarounds
by setting the HW writable bit only if both, the SW dirty bit and the SW
writable bit are set.
We have to move pte_dirty() and pte_dirty() up. The code patching
mechanism and handling constants > 22bit is a bit special on sparc64.
The ASM logic in pte_mkdirty() and pte_mkwrite() match the logic in
pte_mkold() to create the mask depending on the machine type. The ASM
logic in __pte_mkhwwrite() matches the logic in pte_present(), just
using an "or" instead of an "and" instruction.
With this commit (sun4u in QEMU):
root@debian:~/linux/tools/testing/selftests/mm# ./mkdirty
# [INFO] detected THP size: 8192 KiB

ok 5 SIGSEGV generated, page not modified
# [INFO] UFFDIO_COPY
ok 6 SIGSEGV generated, page not modified
# Totals: pass:6 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0
This handling seems to have been in place forever.
